Related Topics: Emma Raducanu, Montreal

British number one Emma Raducanu continued her fine form in North America with a routine win against Elena-Gabriela Ruse at the Canadian Open.

Having reached the semi-finals of the Washington Open last week, the 22-year-old carried that momentum into her match with Romania's Ruse, winning 6-2 6-4.

She will face 32nd seed American Peyton Stearns in the second round.

Raducanu has found her rhythm on the hard courts as she prepares for the US Open - the final Grand Slam of the year and the tournament she won in 2021 - in New York between 24 August and 7 September.
